An envoy of the Qi Kingdom had died. Could it be the work of a patriotic warrior?
When Li Yi and Ruyi walked out of the palace, they were still thinking about this matter.
In order to occupy a place on the Chivalry Ranking List and the Chivalry Ranking List, those honest people in the martial arts world would do anything. They would do whatever could best embody their chivalry. Helping the elderly to walk and rescuing stray dogs were all child's play. If they wanted to do something, they would do something big.
Therefore, the grandson of Prime Minister Qin, the first foppish playboy in the capital city, Young Duke Qin, was still lying in bed.
Killing an envoy of the State of Qi could be considered as getting rid of a scourge for the country. The wanted posters would definitely be posted all over the world. In terms of fame, it was much more worthwhile than beating up the Young Duke Qin!
When they walked to the palace gate, they met Chang De. Besides him, there was another person who surprised Li Yi.
"Liu Yizhong pays his respects to you, Your Excellency!"
Looking at the young man who bowed to him, Li Yi asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Li Yi actually admired this former subordinate very much. Back when he was in Qing 'an Prefecture, he had taught him many things about interrogation and investigation, such as "Record of Redress of Injustice," "Judge of the Great Song Dynasty," "Young Justice Bao," and "The Strange Case of Shi Gong." He had taught him many classic cases.
It was a pity that the person this guy admired the most was Detective Conan. Fortunately, people like Song Ci, Bao Zheng, and Di Renjie did not exist in this world. Otherwise, they might join hands to strangle this guy who worshiped foreign things.
Of course, the purpose of all this was so that he could be lazy — to cultivate talents for the country!
A few days ago, he learned that he had been transferred to the Ministry of Justice and solved several major cases. He was doing very well there. It had only been a few days. How did he get involved with Chang again?
"Your Excellency, His Majesty summoned me," Liu Yizhong said quickly.
"I am not your Excellency now." Li Yi smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Do a good job. His Majesty will not mistreat you!"
Although Li Yi behaved casually, Liu Yizhong did not relax. He said seriously, "Your Excellency's teachings, I will always remember them!"
"All right, all right, go quickly. Don't let His Majesty wait too long." Li Yi waved his hand and gestured to Chang De. Then, he walked out of the palace gate with Ruyi.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Double Seventh Festival of the year. The guards in the residence had been building a high platform in the courtyard since yesterday. Today, he promised Xiao Huan that he would draw a poem on her sky lamp so he had to go back early.
The appointment with the old emperor was set after Chinese Valentine's Day. On the second day after Chinese Valentine's Day, Li Yi would be able to fetch Yong Ning from the palace. Everything in the residence had been prepared.
Chang De looked at Li Yi's departing figure with a profound gaze. Then, he looked at Liu Yiyi beside him. A trace of emotion appeared on his aged face.
What kind of ability did this ordinary-looking young man in front of him have? Even he would not underestimate him. When he thought of what happened in the Supreme Court, he still found it hard to believe.
He didn't use any punishment. He only asked the Qi Kingdom's envoys some irrelevant questions, and he was able to unravel the whole matter bit by bit. If Chang De didn't already know about his abilities, he might even suspect that he was the one who killed the Qi Kingdom's envoy!
However, such a talent that even His Majesty valued greatly was so respectful towards Li Yi. This was definitely not just because the two of them were once superior and subordinate.
Chang De was no longer surprised by the miracle that happened to Li Yi. When he brought Liu Yizhong to the Hall of Diligent Government, he suddenly asked, "Was Lord Han really killed by that envoy?"
Although the envoy in charge had just confessed to his crimes, Chang De did not think that the personal enmity between the two was enough to make him kill someone out of anger.
Liu Yizhong shook his head and said, "No. He only admitted it because the real murderer was more important to him than his own life. In other words, it was terrifying."
"Didn't you often say that there is only one truth?" Chang De looked at him and asked.
"That is not what I said." Liu Yizhong shook his head and said, "Lord Han once said this. Of course, this is true. However, sometimes, what we want is not the truth, is it not?"
…
"You are very good." After a while, Chang De's face showed a look of admiration and he nodded.
Talents were hard to come by. People who knew how to adapt to circumstances and reason were even rarer. Chang De seemed to understand why His Majesty had entrusted that matter to him.
Some scenes appeared in Liu Yizhong's mind and he said, "It is all because Lord Li taught me well."
…
…
"Fifteen minutes?"
In the Hall of Diligent Government, Emperor Jing looked at the Chancellor and the Minister of Justice and confirmed again.
"Yes, Your Majesty. He only used fifteen minutes," the Chancellor of the Supreme Court said helplessly. At this moment, he felt as if there were ten thousand horses galloping in his heart.
Liu Yizhong's brain must be different from ordinary people. Just now in the Supreme Court, he listened to him interrogating the envoy of the Qi Kingdom. As a dignified Chancellor of the Supreme Court, his inner shirt was soaked with sweat … The person who killed the envoy of the Qi Kingdom was actually another envoy?
If this case was handed over to the Supreme Court, it would probably never be solved …
"Let the people of the Qi Kingdom handle this matter themselves." Emperor Jing waved his hand. Since it was an internal conflict between the envoy of the Qi Kingdom, it had nothing to do with the Jing Kingdom. He cared more about not carrying the bad reputation of assassinating the envoy of another kingdom.
After a while, Emperor Jing looked at the people in the hall and said, "You can leave first. Liu Yizhong stays."
The Chancellor of the Supreme Court and the Minister of Justice walked out of the Hall of Diligent Government. Chang De gave the eunuchs in the hall a look, and they hurriedly left.
"This Liu Yizhong will have a meteoric rise in the future." The Chancellor of the Supreme Court walked down the steps in front of the hall and said with a sigh.
"His future is limitless …" The Minister of Justice nodded. His Majesty had always valued talents. Judging from his recent actions, this former subordinate of his had obviously caught His Majesty's eye …
…
…
In the Hall of Diligent Government, only Emperor Jing, Chang De, and Liu Yizhong were left.
Even though there had been many occasions like this, Liu Yizhong could not help but feel nervous in front of the only supreme existence in the country.
"That matter … How is the investigation going?" Emperor Jing walked down from above and asked in a low voice.
Liu Yizhong lowered his head and stood with his hands by his side. He said, "Your Majesty, I have read all the old files of the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court. At present, there are only some minor clues …"
"It is already very good to have some clues." Emperor Jing sighed and said, "After all, it has been twenty years …"
He glanced at Liu Yizhong and saw that he seemed to have something to say. He asked, "Did you find anything else?"
Liu Yizhong thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I found that after I began to investigate this matter, some of the evidence I needed was deliberately erased."
Liu Yizhong raised his head and said, "In other words … they have already noticed."
Emperor Jing's eyes were cold and he said coldly, "After so many years, are they still so vigilant?"
"Can you find out who did it?" Chang De asked.
Liu Yizhong shook his head and said, "They did it very carefully and seemed to deliberately lead me. I was almost deceived and almost went astray."
Chang De frowned and said, "It has been more than twenty years. This case is already difficult. If that is the case, then it is impossible …"
"Actually … not so," Liu Yizhong suddenly said.
Emperor Jing and Chang De looked at him at the same time.
Speaking of this, a mysterious smile appeared on Liu Yizhong's face. He said, "His Excellency once said that the more you do, the more mistakes you make … In fact, the case has already entered a bottleneck, and now there is a new discovery."
"The more you do, the more mistakes you make?" Emperor Jing's eyes flashed slightly. After nodding his head, he suddenly asked, "Which Excellency said this?"
Seeing a trace of fanaticism on Liu Yizhong's face, which was the same as when he was at the palace gate, Chang De's mouth twitched. He said, "Your Majesty, he should be talking about — — Master Li Yi."
